Elegant monotone card

Black and white are so elegant when we put them together, classic, timeless and just lovely. So today I am sharing a stunning Black and White card with you.

I was inspired by a card I saw on Instagram. The lady used different stamps to me from a totally different company but the colours and shapes just grabbed my attention so I recreated it using my Stampin' Up! supplies...so it is totally different but inspired.

I do have a quick full step by step video tutorial for you so why not grab a fresh cuppa, get comfy and enjoy the video. 

Happy stamping xxx Amanda

Stampin' For All colour challenge

Happy Saturday, and here we have another great colour challenge for you to try. We create these every week for our facebook forum group Stampin' for All.

These colours were inspired by the Let It Snow designer series papers from Stampin' Up ... but I think these colours are totally an all year round combo.

Give it a try and have fun creating.

Boxed journal gift set Stampin' Up! pressed Petals suite.

I love making journals so when I saw Stampin' Up! had a ready made journal for sale I had to have a look. A small sized Journal perfect to fit in your handbag and packed with fantastic pages for writing, loaded with pretty images and inspirational sayings. Perfect for a gift this Christmas or at any time of the year.

To make the journal even better I added some love... some crafty additions and created a custom sized and decorated gift box to place it in.

Everything I used is from the Pressed Petals suite in the 2019-2020 annual catalogue I will leave links below.

I have a full process video to share what I did to create both the box and the journal. Spot the blunder !! There generally is one in my tutorials but I like to keep it real. Crafted projects are made with love not perfection is my philosophy.

So grab a fresh cuppa, get comfy and enjoy the tutorial.

Huge hugs x Amanda
